This elongated format provides 60-75 minutes of smoking time, suited for daytime use or introductory cigar sessions. The Fonseca No.1 employs a lighter blend than typical Cuban vitolas, prioritizing combustion consistency over intensity. Its ash maintains structural integrity for 1.5-2 inch segments before shedding.
